Disturbance-Observer-Based Fixed-Time Backstepping Control for Quadrotors with Input Saturation and Actuator Failure

This paper investigates the fixed-time tracking control problem of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) considering the disturbance, input saturation, and actuator failure.According to the hierarchical control principle, the UAV dynamics are decomposed into a click here translational and rotational loop to accommodate the controller design.A novel nonsingular fixed-time backstepping controller based on switching variables is proposed to achieve fast convergence of system tracking errors within a fixed time.

To overcome the effect of the disturbance and the actuator failure, two fixed-time disturbance observers are designed in two loops, respectively.By integrating the fixed-time auxiliary variables into the dynamic controllers, the problem of input saturation can be addressed.In addition, the tracking errors of the closed-loop system converge to the neighborhood of the origin in a fixed time.

Finally, sufficient simulation results verify the validity of the skull bride and groom proposed control framework for the UAV.
